I put them on my TV. I have a "TV" "playlist" or whatever you want to call it, and I move photos in and out every couple of weeks. I almost always have the TV on. I listen to streaming audio over the TV while it shows ph

I think he means before he told them to stop calling. It seemed like in the second interview after he said, "I already interviewed for this position," they suddenly wanted nothing to do with him for some odd reason.

Same thing here. It seemed like what they were really after is finding out my current employer's pay scale for engineers with my amount of experience. They never even officially rejected me. I had to call them to find out what the situ

Well, I've had the opposite experience. I wanted to build a basic open source package for unix on my Mac. I got the source and followed the instructions to "make whatever". It failed with highly cryptic errors that I later le

Final Cut Pro X renders mostly on the GPU, so yes, it uses a lot less CPU than Hangouts, which apparently uses a software codec. Even if there's no hardware acceleration for VP9, you'd think they could use OpenCL, CUDA, or somethi

Not only that, but when Apple sells a computer to users who would like an easily serviceable product, they do quite a good job of it. Older Mac Pros are a joy to work in compared to many Windows PCs I've had to deal with. No thumbscrew

I wonder if doing a color median would produce interesting results? That is plotting the colors in 3D space and picking the one closest to the geo-center of the point cloud. Or maybe doing some sort of HLS histogram and picking the most com

I've never seen them interrupt a show in progress. I've seen them do pledge drives where they preempt a show, but I haven't ever had something I was watching on PBS be interrupted, personally. Maybe I'm just lucky, or ma

For me it's more about the fact that companies are collecting too much data and not anonymizing it properly or securing it properly. I doubt Walmart, or whomever is going to do much more than send me annoying emails or postal mail at w

TV found several better models. PBS asks the public directly to give them money, and they allow corporations to buy sponsorships which don't interrupt the content. HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc. have subscribers who pay directly for the

One option is to either not show scores for some time after answers are posted (at least to other viewers - maybe the asker could still see answer scores?), and/or to randomize the order in which answers are shown for some period of ti

The author says: "I accept that I cannot change anything with complaints." I respectfully disagree as both a complainer and the implementer of things that people frequently complain about. Not everyone can fix what's wrong wi

I'm glad someone wrote this up. I would love to be able to control who has access to my WhoIS record and to know when it's been queried and for what purpose. The enormous amount of spam and even physical junk mail that comes from

Some users (myself included) really dislike apps that ask them for a review. It's like a needy child asking for validation after everything they do. If I want to review your app, I will. If I don't I won't. But if you nag me

I love the idea of trying to come up with a better way of notating music to make it more accessible. That's a great idea. However, I'm skeptical that this is it. First, looking at the 2 notations of "Let it Be," we can s

This causes me no end of grief. Credit card fields where you can't enter spaces, phone number fields where you can't format the numbers like a phone number. It's literally a few lines of code to pull out just the numbers! So

"Is ISO 8601 really beyond comprehension for most of the population?" Absolutely! I have had to program date-related code, and I am familiar with the differences between US and European date formats, and I have never heard of ISO

This looks useful as a quick reference and it's very nicely laid out. Nice work! I'm a little disappointed that the text is essentially the same as the man pages, which means all the same failings. It would be great if there was a

I couldn't agree less. The MacOS app store has made it so much easier for me as a user. Apple might not be perfect, but to compare them to Steam? Just last week I had a problem with a Steam app and getting it resolved was farcical. Not

I've not used LastPass, but I chose 1Password because it has the ability to sync with my iOS device over wi-fi. So I don't need to store anything in the cloud, but still get syncing between devices. It also has options for using D

I'm excited to see they're trying new things, and it does look slick. That said, I just wish they'd get rid of the stupid horizontal scrolling list of movies. It's just not efficient and it works poorly. They could have

FWIW, I would not use the site if it required me to enter other people's email addresses. I would also advise my friends not to use it as I wouldn't want them to enter my email address into it. I don't know if not being able

"Of course, this sends shivers up the spines of people who feel the need to exert control in the workplace." I'm not sure who you mean here. As an employee, I would dislike moving around a lot as I like to, for example, have

I'm not sure what to make of that. Hulu is still alive, though I know for a while there, they almost weren't. Everyone I know who ever used Hulu mentions nothing about the service except how bad the ads were. And there's neve

> I find the arguments in favor of ad blocking to often be similar in flavor to the arguments in favor of piracy: "I'd pay for content, if only they'd charge a reasonable amount for it." Since "reasonable"
